I Prayed A Prayer Of Faith

I prayed a prayer of faith and look!
Look what it has done...
It brought me to a relationship 
With Jesus Christ God's Son
I believed His Word and whamo!
What a change took place
I never felt so clean before
Praise God for amazing grace!

His Word is quick and powerful
Jam packed by the Spirit
And lives are really really changed
In hearts of those who hear it
So give a listen to God's Word
It's absolutely free
They that believe by saving faith 
Will enjoy eternity

I prayed a prayer of faith and found
That God was really there
It was astounding to my soul 
How much He reaĺly cared
He drew me in through Calvary
The way of the Cross led home
And by the assurance of His Spirit
Now I'm never alone!

Now I'm never alone...amen!
My God is by my side
He's there when I awaken
And He's there at eventide
The prayer I use to pray
When I laid me down to sleep
My Lord has given me validation
That my soul He'll keep!!!

No wonder I am singing now
Or I'm whistling every day
Since my sins have been forgiven
His hallelujah's are my Stay
For I know in Whom I have believed
Has made a believer out of me
All those years I spent in vanity and pride
Were taken away at Calvary!!!

The joy of the Lord is our strength
For He's our mighty tower
As the Maker of the universe
He still holds all the power
So why not trust...I mean really trust
In that One who shed His blood 
And find yourself in Heaven with
The Saviour who is God!!!

Hallelujah what a Saviour!

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
